We discuss now, known results from the LEO Micius satellite in the context of teleportation of DV-polarization states from the ground to the satellite [1]}. Different from our system model, the teleportation experiment reported in [1]} does not use the downlink to create the entanglement, but rather utilizes the uplink as a means of distributing the entanglement. Therefore, the advantage of using the superior downlink channel is not afforded to that experiment. From the aperture used in [1]} - a 6.5cm radius transmitter and a 15cm radius receiver telescope, a turbulence induced loss of 30dB is obtained at a 500km altitude, the zenith distance of Micius. This translates into a beam width of 10m at the receiver plane (30m beam width and 40dB losses at 1400km is also reported). Nonetheless, the experiment still clearly demonstrates a fidelity of 0.8 for the teleportation of single-qubit encoded in single-polarized photons (well above the classical fidelity limit of 2/3 for a qubit), proving the viability of teleportation over the large distances tested.
